Police are working on two the-
ories in the murder of a St James
man who was plying his private
car for hire in Cascade yesterday.
According to police, 37-year-
old Tim Farrell, of Aboud Circular,
St James, was at Upper Hill Side
Avenue, Cascade, dropping off
passengers around 9.30 am when
residents heard gunshots and con-
tacted the police.
Farrell was found slumped on
the steering wheel with two gun-
shots to the back.
Police believe he was killed by
someone pretending to be a pas-
senger. The second theory police
are working on is that Farrell was
killed by an armed bandit from
the area who has been terrorising
PH drivers lately.
While the two theories are
engaging the police, they have
ruled out robbery as a motive for
Farrell's death as his money stash
was found in his vehicle. Some of
the cash was found outside on the
ground and is believed to have
been blown out of the car after
Farrell was killed.
In another unrelated matter,
police said Marlon Cook, who was
shot while at his St Francois Valley
Road home, died while he was
being treated at the Port-of-Spain
General Hospital yesterday.
Cook, 30, who lived next to the
St Francois Girls' College, was
reportedly washing his gold Nissan
Almera and liming with Odel
Charles around 12.45 pm when
two gunmen approached and shot
the duo. Both men were taken to
hospital where Cook died while
being treated. Charles, 22, of Upper
Davis Street, Belmont, is still ward-
ed in a serious condition.
The murder toll is now 62, for
the same period last year the toll
it was 85.
No ID on accident victim
While attempting to get up after
being hit by a car, an unidentified
man was run over twice by another
vehicle on Sunday.
According to police reports, the
man was attempting to cross the
Uriah Butler Highway around 7.40
pm when he was hit by a car driven
by Anuradha Balliram near Grand
Bazaar, Valsayn.
After hitting the man, Balliram,
who was heading south, pulled
over to render assistance to him.
Police said while contacting the
emergency health services Balliram
saw two other vehicles run over
the man. The other cars failed to
stop.
The bleeding man was taken to
the nearby Eric Williams Medical
Science Complex, Mt Hope, where
he underwent emergency surgery.

A total of 131 suspicious trans-
actions have been forwarded for
investigation by the Financial
Intelligence Unit (FIU), an increase
of 32, over the previous year.
In its 2013-2014 annual report,
which was submitted by FIU head
Susan Francois to Finance Minister
Larry Howai last Friday, 17 Suspi-
cious Transaction Reports/Suspi-
cious Activity Reports (STRs/SARs)
were submitted, carrying a total
monetary value of $698 million
while for the same period last year,
that figure stood at $1.12 billion.
The report found that just one
per cent or six people who were
reported for suspected suspicious
transactions fell under the politically
exposed persons umbrella.
The FIU also completed financial
analysis on 515 STRs/SARs, which
is made up of 513 money laundering
issues and two financing of terror-
ism cases. The report found that of
the 515 cases analysed, 323 were
filed away for intelligence purposes
while further in-depth analysis was
conducted on the remaining 192
cases.
Of those 192 cases, 131 reports
were generated and sent to the law
enforcement agencies and a further
two have been sent to the Com-
missioner of Police.
"The FIU received five
STRs/SARs relating to financing of
terrorism. Analysis was completed
on two financing of terrorism
STRs/SARs which were forwarded
to the Commissioner of Police and
ongoing analysis is being completed
on the remaining three.
The report said the number of
intelligence reports disseminated to
law enforcement authorities was
"significant" and also highlighted
several trends and money laundering
patterns, including an increase in
real estate purchases.
"There has been an increase in
the number of persons, both local
and foreign, purchasing real estate
with cash. In some instances, the
purchaser may be acting on behalf
of a third party," the report stated.
The FIU also found increased
indications of identity fraud and
identity theft. It also found increased
incidents of non-nationals, who live
in T&T sending "frequent and large
amounts of money to their home
countries by wire transfers to both
family and non-family members."
The report also indicated an
increase in the intra-island money
transfers. According to the FIU there
is now an expanded "network of
senders across the country trans-
ferring funds via money or value
transfer services to individuals in
close proximity to the senders' loca-
tion. The funds remitted are usually
under $500," the report noted.
The FIU also sent 17 requests for
information to government agencies
relating to specified categories of
offences.

The husband of murdered
journalist Marcia Henville yes-
terday was sent to the St Ann s
Hospital for a psychiatric eval-
uation by a magistrate after his
attorney, Fareed Ali, argued he
was concerned about his mental
health.
Sheldon Henville, 39, of Fidelis
Heights, Santa Margarita, St
Augustine, was also charged with
maliciously setting fire to their
apartment while his wife and
children---Chioke and Nikeiya---
were inside. Henville appeared
before Tunapuna Senior Magis-
trate Gillian David-Scotland, who
was asked by Ali to send Henville
for evaluation.
Ali argued his client, who spent
38 days in custody, was not "in
the best condition" after being
housed at the hospital and the
deplorable conditions at the Mal-
oney Police Station.
Ali said as a result of the con-
ditions he was worried his client
was not able to properly instruct
him.
David-Scotland ordered that
Henville re-appear in court on
March 16, after he is evaluated
to ensure he is mentally compe-
tent to be prosecuted for murder.
Before being taken to St Ann's
the magistrate ordered that
Henville be taken to the Eric
Williams Medical Sciences Com-
plex, Mt Hope, where he has to
receive treatment for an injury
he sustained during the blaze that
damaged their home.
Speaking with the media after
the court matter, Ali sought to
dispel rumours his modus
operandi was to get his clients
sent to St Ann's in a bid to prevent
the inevitability of them being
sent on remand.
"I am deferring simply to have
someone's medical health eval-
uated. This is not any stalling
tactic. I am about due process of
law and ensuring justice is done,"
Ali said.
Henville, 51, the host of TV6's
Point Blank talk/reality show, was
beaten, stabbed and her throat
slit before her body was set ablaze
at her home on January 23.
It was initially believed she had
been killed in the fire before the
autopsy revealed she had been
murdered.
